I actually had this in my bracket, which was chosen in the most chaotic possible way!

Unfortunately I also had Iowa winning it all (and Kansas losing in round 1.)

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't Mercury tidally locked, and therefore none of the planet experiences both day and night?

The Movie 'Life' from a few years ago immediately came to mind! Literally about a single celled organism found on Mars that was dormant but still alive.

The open secret about EVs is that they're not about being green, they will be cheaper and easier to manufacture, and cheaper and easier to own than traditional vehicles. EVs are the future of the industry regardless of environmental impact.

Edit: Downvoted by a lot of people who aren't mechanics, I see! The truth is EVs have less moving parts. They're way easier to maintain and manifacture because of it. We're right on the border of them being cheaper to produce than traditional vehicles already, and in a few years once that scale tips, we'll never go back. Source - Almost all of my friends and family work for Ford or GM, several as engineers. These companies aren't investing in EVs out of the goodness of their heart, they know it makes financial sense.
